RDA Blog has moved to HTTPS from HTTP

Resource Description and Access RDA Blog is now even more secure. RDA Blog has enabled HTTPS. The URL has moved to https://resourcedescriptionandaccess.blogspot.com/

HTTPS has become a web-standard & one of those practices that every webmaster should follow. HTTPS is great for the security of data as it encrypts the data transferred between users & a website. Especially it protects them from common hacking practices such as data sniffing & man-in-the-middle-attack. 

There are three main benefits to using HTTPS instead of HTTP to access RDA Blog:
  • It helps check that your visitors open the correct website and aren’t being redirected to a malicious site.
  • It helps detect if an attacker tries to change any data sent from Blogger to the visitor.
  • It adds security measures that make it harder for other people to listen to your visitors’ conversations, track their activities, or steal their information.
Formatting Changes in RDA Blog posts and Pages

Formatting of some Resource Description and Access RDA Blog posts and pages are changed to give a uniform look. Following are the RDA Blog pages who has undergone major formatting revisions:
